Patrick Monteiro de Barros and Seljm continue to lead in the Six Metre European Open Division with Ross Macdonald at the helm of Bribon 500 leading the Classic Division.
Upset of the day came when reigning Six Metre World Champion Momo, with owner Dieter Schoen of Switzerland at the helm, was disqualified from race four, dropping them back to fifth overall despite winning the first race of the day.
A seventh in race one and then a second race win in race two reduced Monteiro de Barros lead to just two points, now ahead of Jan Eckert’s Ginkgo Too, a 2020 Javier Cela design which moves into second with 14 points.
In third place is Violeta Alvarez’s 2017 Bribón designed Stella with a 3 and 2 on 16 points.
In the Classic Division Ross Macdonald at the helm of Bribon 500 dominated with two wins to lead by five points from Andy and Lisa Postle’s Nirvana, a stunning replica of a 1939 Olin Stephens design.
Catalin Trandafir’s Essentia, a 1956 Sparkman and Stephens design is in third place, with Thomas Kuhmann’s 1955 Bjarne Aas designed Hanko III now fourth.
